As far as the overview goes, I think it is an excellent one sentence summary of each of the poems in the collection that you would be discussing. However, as far as the titles go, you should capitalize the main words in each of the title, but keep them italicized. — David M Gonsalves 2021/06/16 15:34

I agree with David that the titles are lost in the text. I know that they're not capitalized in Alcheringa, but I think this is a conventional way to signal This Is a Title.

Also, I like the detail in the overview, but the first sentence might start with a summation (a sequence of 6 poems which have X,Y, and Z in common?)

I don't know much about Paul Victor. I am not sure that speculation about WWII Paris gets us very far, unless you have some biographical info. I'd trim that back.

Bibliography lists useful sources. Can you reformat it without the indents? The wiki inteprets those strangely.

Probably useful to note that the contemporary name for this group is Inuit. According to Encyclopedia of Post-Colonial Literatures in English edited by Eugene Benson, L.W. Conolly, S. Penny Petrone writes: “Canadian Inuit, who inhabit the arctic coast of Canada from the Yukon borer east to Labrador, share their aboriginal language with the Inuit of Alaska and Greenland. Pre-contact Inuit (the term “Eskimo' being the pre-coloniaal Algonkian term for the Inuit that gained widespread currency) had a rich, strictly oral literature. Song, drama, legends and histories of both a religious and secular nature were part of the oral tradition, but note of these were recorded in print until writing was introduced by Europeans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Traditional Inuit song is often magical or ritualistic, bit it can also have a narrative or lineal structure.” (np)
